The PID10 and PID20 will operate a 1-phase 2-wire, 1-phase 3-wire, and 3-phase motor up to the HP range of the Drive. The PID50 only operates a 3-phase motor up to 5 HP.

Description 5

TransducerThe PENTEK INTELLIDRIVE uses a 4-20mA, 0-100PSI pressure transducer to control motor speed (max is 300 PSI transducer).The transducer (see Figure 1) senses pressure in the pipe and converts it to an electrical signal. The Drive senses and processes the signal in the PID (Proportional, Integration, Derivative) control. When operating in AUTOSTART mode, the Drive increases and decreases the speed of the pump motor as needed to maintain constant pressure in the piping system.

KeypadThe keypad programs the Drive, monitors the status of the pump, and displays faults if they occur. Each button has a unique function, as described in Figure 2. The LCD display shows a text display of the status of the Drive’s operation. Other LEDs light up to indicate when certain buttons are pressed or certain events occur.

FanThe Drive uses a thermostatically controlled internal fan which operates automatically when necessary to cool the Drive components.

WiringTo allow for ease of wiring, the enclosure wiring area is free of electronics other than the terminals. Conduit holes and knockouts are located so that the wire can be fed straight through to the connectors, with minimal bending. The terminals accept 6-14 AWG wire.Installations that require larger wire gauge than 6 AWG will require an external junction box. Run 6 AWG wire from the Drive into the junction box, then make external connections with wire nuts to appropriately sized wire. NOTICE For convenience in wiring, the input and motor terminals unplug from the box. Pull them down to remove them for ease of access, as shown in Figure 9.Verify that the terminal connectors are completely seated when you replace them. It is best practice

to connect all output wires (larger wire gauge) first, then all input wires.

Pump ConnectionsIf the PENTEK INTELLIDRIVE is used with above ground motors not rated for Variable Frequency Drive use, maximize motor life by limiting lead length to 25 ft. Refer to the pump owner’s manual, the National Electrical Code, and local codes for proper wire size.The output of the Drive is single phase (2-wire or 3-wire) or 3-phase, depending on motor selection during startup.The output power terminals (motor wire connections) are located on the lower right side of the Drive and are labeled R (Red), Y (Yellow), andB(Black).SeeTables2through6forsuggestedwire sizes.Feed the motor cable through the 3/4” conduit hole on the bottom right side and into the appropriate terminals. If the wire is large enough to require a larger conduit hole, remove the 1-1/4” knockout and use the appropriate conduit connections. Attach the motor ground wire to the grounding screw, located to the upper right of the terminal block. Attach the motor power wires to the terminals as shown in Figure 9.

Figure 8 - Pull input and motor terminals down to remove, making wiring easier.

10Installation 10

Pressure Tank RecommendationsMinimum tank size is two gallons. Use a pre-charged pressure tank with Drive, as shown in Table 6. The tank size must equal at least 20 percent of the pump’s rated flow in gallons per minute (GPM), but cannot be less than two gallons capacity. For example, a pump rated at 7 GPM would require a tank of two gallons capacity or larger. A pump rated at 50 GPM would require a 10 gallon tank or larger. Tanks larger than 10 gallons can be used, but may require adjustment of Wake Delay parameter.

NOTICE Set pressure tank’s pre-charge to 70 percent of the system operating pressure. When using an external set point as well as an internal set point, pre-charge tank to 70 percent of the lower setpoint of the two. Some applications may require a different percentage when determining the setpoint.

Transducer ConnectionsA 0-100 PSI 4-20 mA transducer is provided with Drive. Install the transducer downstream of tank, as shown in Figure 1. Install transducer in a tee in a straight section of pipe with at least 1 foot of straight pipe on each side of the tee (i.e., all fittings must be at least 1 foot away from transducer).Feed transducer cable through the open 1/2” conduit hole on bottom of the Drive enclosure.As shown in Figure 5, connect the red wire of the transducer cable to AI+, connect black wire to AI–, and connect the green cable shield to the metal cable shield screw.

To connect the transducer wires:1. Strip wire ½ inch2. Push spring terminal up with finger or slotted

screwdriver3. Insert wires from bottom4. Release spring terminal

Input Power ConnectionsThe input power terminals are located on the lower left side and are marked L1 and L2 (see Figure 9). There is a ground screw for the input ground wire to the right of the connector (torque to 10 lbs in). Feed wire through the 3/4” conduit hole on the bottom left side and into appropriate terminals. If wire is large enough to require a larger conduit hole, remove the 1-1/4” knockout and use appropriate conduit connections.To determine the correct wire sizes for installation, see Tables 2 through 6.NOTICE The PENTEK INTELLIDRIVE only accepts 230V single phase input power. If incoming power does not match this, have a qualified electrician alter supply voltage to 230V/1Ph before connecting it to the Drive.

11Initial Startup 11

Initial Startup and Programming ProceduresEnsure that the cover is installed before operating the PENTEK INTELLIDRIVE.Most installations will only require the initial startup settings. However, the installer may need to set additional parameters. Information about accessing all parameters, explanations of their functions, and procedures for changing parameter values, will be found later in this section.1. Program the Drive: Apply power to the

PENTEK INTELLIDRIVE. Setup Guide will appear in the display. Follow keypress sequence shown in Figure 10.NOTICE If Setup Guide does not appear, refer toDrive Reset Procedure, Figure 20.

Figure 11.

Service Factor AmpsTo maximize pump performance, be sure to enter the correct Service Factor Amps (SF Amps) in the PENTEK INTELLIDRIVE.• EnteringSFAmpshigher than the motor rating

lets the Drive supply more amps to the motor than the motor is designed for and may allow the motor to overheat (see Table 8).

• EnteringSFAmpslower than the motor rating limits the output amps to less than the motor is designed for and will reduce the performance of the pump.

• Forany1-Phase3-Wiremotor,thecorrectService Factor Amp rating for the Drive is Cap Start/Cap Run amps (see Table 8). This may not match the motor nameplate, which (for a Single Phase, 3-Wire motor) will generally be Cap Start/ Induction Run Amps.

• Forany3-Phaseor1Phase,2-Wiremotor,use the motor nameplate Service Factor Amp rating.

NOTICE PENTEK® submersible motors may differ from motors of the same horsepower from other manufacturers. For 1-Phase, 3-Wire motors from all other submersible motor manufacturers, enter the motor manufacturer’s CS/CR service factor amps for your motor. For 3-Phase or 2-Wire 1-Phase motors, use the motor nameplate amp value. Also see Retro Fit Applications.

60 Hz to 80 Hz OperationWhen installing the PENTEK INTELLIDRIVE with a motor and liquid end of the same HP rating, operate it at 60 Hz (the default value). The Drive can be operated at frequencies of up to 80 Hz when the installation uses a 3-phase motor 2 times the size of the pump. For example, a 1 HP pump with a 2 HP 3-phase motor. This combination will equal the performance of a conventional 2 HP pump.Press Main Menu and follow the keypress sequence shown in Figure 7.BesuretopressENTER to save the new Max Frequency selected. The Drive will now use the new value selected.NOTICE The Drive will not allow the output amps to go above the Service Factor Amps selected on thekeypad.Becauseofthis,some80Hzoperationsmay be limited. This protects the motor and may be a common occurrence in a 80Hz operation.

Keypad Lock - PasswordThe password locks or unlocks the blue buttons on keypad. All PENTEK INTELLIDRIVE units are shipped from factory with the default password 7777. It can be changed to any other 1 to 4 digit number.

RS-485 CommunicationsRS-485 is a US-based telecommunications standard for binary serial communications between devices. It is the protocol, or set of specifications, that needs to be followed to allow devices that implement the standard to speak to each other. A fully compliant RS-485 port is included in the PENTEK INTELLIDRIVE system to permit serial connections among more than two devices on an RS-485 compliant network. Figure 15 shows two-wire connection to the Drive.
